The Official Philosophy Thread!

<p>I have to say that UCLA philosophy is difficult, rigorous and demanding on their students. You should take a look at major requirements and see if you’re on the right track for completing them in 2 years (or 3).</p>

<p>I think a lot of philosophy majors are in for a surprise, to put it lightly. I just took philosophy over summer school and the reading load was amazing, as in crazy time consuming. Average of 60 pages a day. One day, I had 120. You really can’t fall behind, otherwise you’ll be looking at a mounting number for your reading.</p>

<p>I got into UCSD, UCD, Berkeley and UCLA. I picked UCLA for departmental reasons.</p>

<p>All I can say is to anyone here that is applying as a philosophy major to any university, research the department, look at the courses offered (to see if they are more along your interest) and don’t be afraid to e-mail the philosophy department to ask questions. I wouldn’t bother the professors, but I would ask the departmental advisers.</p>

<p>It’s going to be an interesting year.</p>
